Hi!

We currently have quite a number of PLIST files that only contain
the @comment line (mostly for perl packages).  I think we should
get rid of them, because they don't provide extra information.

Deleting the files is not currently sufficient, this needs some
changes in the infrastructure first, since if no PLIST file is
found, "make install" hangs and waits for user input. But that's
probably just a bug in mk/ and could be fixed.

Does anyone see a reason why we should keep the empty PLIST files?
